DimageS304Tips
(revision 1) (raw view)
The Minolta Dimage S304 is a nice digital camera. It takes very crisp pictures and has a movie mode which can take 60-second movies. The only problem I have with it is that it does a piss-poor job telling you if the batteries are low. In a nutshell, it gives you no warning at all so I've been stuck twice now with a dead camera. The camera comes with Windows software which seems to work OK but I like to use GNU/Linux so I'm trying to get it to work with that OS. The S304 uses USB to connect to the PC so the first thing I need to do is get the kernel USB driver working. http://edelweiss.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1010 indicates that it should work - and the 2.4.18 kernel already has the code that it needs. gphoto seems to be the default GNOME camera management software. -- Main.TobyCabot - 30 Mar 2002 <br />
